WE LOVE SPIRIT I just wanted to reach out and share a photo and a quote from one of the SCARC participants! This participant, in the attached photo, said during a session of SPIRIT yesterday, that he is “Doing things he never thought he could do before!” We are so proud of his progress and thought you would enjoy hearing about the positive impact that your inclusive fitness program is having on SCARC participants. Thank you to you and your team for all of the work that you do. Brooke A. Ulikowski, BSWProgram SupervisorSCARC, INC.
